- ROAD NETWORK
Road transportation is the dominant network in the district. The total road length in the district is about 150 km, It is mainly feeder road with only about 20 kilometers out of the tarred roads unevenly spread across the district. The rest are in a very bad state. However, they play an important role by facilitating the transportation of agriculture produce and people to and from the communities.
c. ENERGY
Almost all the larger communities in the district are connected to the national grid. There is still ongoing expansion in the district through the Government Rural Electrification project.
d. HEALTH
The level of service delivery in the district is very low apparently due to the rural nature of the area. There is no Hospital in the District, there are Two (2) Health Centres (Akrofuom and Ampunyase) and eight (8) CHP Compounds in the District. Six of the CHPS Compounds are operational and two under construction. Currently, there is only one doctor in the District at Ampunyase with the Akrofuom centre being managed by a Physician Assistant.

f. MARKET CENTER
The district has five market centres at communities such as Akrofuom, Grumesa, Mensonsu, Ampunyase and Wamasi but the most effective and vibrant one is the Akrofuom market centre where people from nearby villages patronize on weekly basis with various commodities. Though, market structures have been put up in the various market centres, traders have not been using the facilities. Efforts are being made to restructure those facilities to encourage the traders to patronize its usage. There are ongoing infrastructure development in the Akrofuom market which when completed will give it a face-lift.
g. WATER AND SANITATION
A greater proportion (50.8%) of the household use Bore-hole/Pump/Dug well as their main source of drinking water. Furthermore, households also derive their drinking water from River/Stream (16.0%) and protected well (15.3%). These followed Bore-hole/Pump/Tube well in highest order. Only few of the households have access to pipe-borne water inside dwelling units (0.8%) and outside dwelling units (4.2%).
A number of households (about 31.6%) does not have access to any toilet facility and therefore resort to the use of bush, field. A Larger proportion of household (about 56.2%), in the rural localities use pit latrines. Only few (about 12%) uses decent WC or VIP toilets. Crude dumping of refuse is a common practice in the district.
- TOURISM
The district has discovered two tourist site yet to be developed. They are: Nkrabia Forest Canopy Rocks and Dampiaso Water Falls.
- ENVIRONMENTAL
The district has signed contract with Zoomlion Ghana to manage its solid waste. The community waste container which has been placed at vantage points to be used by the community and this has helped stop the haphazard way of dumping refuse. A private company from Obuasi carries and dislodge liquid waste in the district.

Bore-hole/pump/dug well as well as river streams serves as main sources of drinking water.

1. REVENUE MOBILIZATION STRATEGIES FOR KEY REVENUE SOURCES
- The Assembly in 2024 would continue to identify and update all revenue sources and ways to ensure full mobilization. The following would be carried out.
- The Assembly would actively involve the sub-district structures i.e., the Area Councils and Unit Committees to assist in the collection of Revenue.
- The IGF Technical Working Group would be revamp and work with the revenue mobilization task force of the Assembly to beef up revenue supervision and monitoring effort for improved revenue.
- Tax education would be intensified in the district to help create awareness.
- The revenue mobilization van would continue to be used to collect revenue and create awareness.
- The Assembly would effectively supervise and monitor the operations of Commission Collectors.
- Revenue target would be revised to enhance performance of revenue collectors.
Other approaches to be use in improving revenue collections are:
- Collection and update of the district revenue data
- Organize revenue mobilization interactive meetings with revenue collectors and stakeholders
- Provide appropriate logistics for revenue collectors
- Motivate hard working collectors and supervisors
- It is expected that with improved IGF and timely release of external funds, the assembly will in 2024 implement most of its projects and programmes in major sectors such as Agric, Education and Health.
